One of Top Ten Best Cities! Relocation opportunity.

Sad owner of a lovingly-built flower shop needs to relocate due to husband s job reassignment. Our turn-key marketing program is projected to generate 55% growth over the next 3 years. The startup headaches are over and the business is ready for you to step in. The 2009 sales have held steady at $210,000 with strong margins. If you like the idea of living in the beautiful City of Albuquerque, this is where our relocation becomes your opportunity. This 2-year-old business has exceptional operating systems that save hours on paperwork and allow you to analyze your stores by the numbers. The first-class designers/managers are willing to stay with the new owner. Our customer database contains solid corporate accounts with good local name recognition that we have been using to win new business. The company has a long list of glowing and recent customer testimonials, a custom web site, and a photo database of original designs with recipes. Each shop is located on a major thoroughfare with high-income traffic commuting to stable employment. One store is next to a copy store with significant foot traffic, while the other is located inside a well-patronized mall with a super low vacancy rate. We lovingly furnished our first store from the ground up with only the best, most durable, and appealing furnishings and equipment. This floral business offers you a flexible lifestyle to take advantage of the sunny Southwest. You can keep the existing staff and focus on marketing the business, or work full-time to gain more immediate rewards. The business allows you to be involved in the community, to touch the lives of others, and to see a return on investment.
